Office of the Commissioner

Judy Lowe,
Arizona Real Estate Commissioner

Greetings from Commissioner Judy Lowe

On May 14, 2009 Governor Janice K. Brewer appointed me Commissioner of the Arizona Department of Real Estate (ADRE).
On January 21, 2015, Governor Douglas A. Ducey re-appointed me as Commissioner. I have been honored to accept both appointments.

Since 2009, there have been many changes at the Department. The Department staff has developed an internal and external theme of
“Together Everyone Achieves More”. When visiting or communicating with
the Department everyone should have a pleasant experience. Each of us will do as much as we can to assist anyone who has an issue,
or question… please remember to treat us politely.

The Department has been able to adjust to a lesser budget appropriation through enhancing our online technological capabilities
adjusting our staff numbers from a high count of 70+ to a low count of 31 at the close of FY2018, and embracing the Arizona
Management System (Click here to learn more about AMS). We have also modified
our operating expenses to accommodate the drop in our appropriation from a high of $4.6M to the FY2019 appropriation of $2.9M.
Please review our annual reports to the Governor (links in menu pane to the right) to learn of our many accomplishments.
The ADRE Strategic Plan can also be reviewed to become familiar with our planned objectives for
the coming years Click here .

We are proud of what we’ve accomplished, and truly feel, that we are achieving more with much, much less, as we continue to serve
Arizona’s real estate industry, and the Arizona constituents we serve.

My #1 emphasis is on building partnerships within the real estate industry and with other state agencies, in serving our Arizona
constituents from an attitude of supporting a TEAM concept. I will continue to listen and gather feedback from all, as well as
create a synergistic approach to problem solving.

I will use my extensive real estate industry knowledge and consumer protection experience to further promote the Department’s mission
of “protecting the public”, while ensuring exceptional customer service.

Louis Dettorre, Deputy Commissioner is responsible for overseeing daily office operation and internal and external communications.
